For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
(John 16.27
NRSV)
A mother took her six-year-old boy into a doctor's crowded waiting room. As they waited their turn, he began to ask her all kinds of questions. In half an hour he managed to cover almost every subject known to humanity. To the wonder of all the others sitting in the room, his mother answered each question carefully and patiently. Inevitably, he got around to God. As the other people listened to his relentless "how's" and "why's," it was plain to see by the expressions on their faces that they wondered: "How does she stand it?" But when she answered her son's next question, she answered theirs too. "Why," he asked, "doesn't God ever get tired and just stop?" "Because," she replied after a moment's thought, "God is love; and love never gets tired."
If you or I were God, we would tire of giving, particularly when we get so little gratitude in return.
God of love, thank you for your love that never ends. In Jesus name, Amen.
